AM5 build black friday £2000 max

[sanadsaad]

Hi guys. I was looking to squeeze more out of my AM4 build but looks like i've waited too long and the x3d processors are out of stock. I would be looking to upgrade to AM5 with the current black friday deals. My max budget is £2000 but im looking for a top price to performance build. If the 9950x3d can go in, that would be icing on the cake. I have a Samsung G7 odyssey from 4 years ago but if there's a better gaming monitor that I can also plug my macbook in from time to time without resolution issues, that would be amazing. I have a corsair 1000D case that I can move my am4 build out of. Very grateful for your advice.

Does your photo/video editing benefit more from core count or is it GPU accelerated? If so you might be better off with a 5070ti over the 9070XT, I've listed a 9800X3D as it'll still be a big uplift over your 2700X for any work related tasks but if you really feel the extra cores will help bump up. For gaming the 9950X3D won't offer any real benefit over the 9800X3D outside of extremely rare instances.

You should be able to reuse everything else, psu//hsf/case etc, but depending on the age of the supply it might still be worth replacing, although Superflower make some damn good units.

I would have considered more RAM but the prices are shocking at the moment for 32gb, let alone 48 or 64.
